Soft Stretch Wide-Leg Jeans

An ultra-soft denim blend with real stretch in it. They give where a rigid jean digs in, and the shape comes back rather than stretching out by the afternoon.

An elasticated back on a jean sounds like a compromise until you have worn them on a long flight.

The fabric

A soft stretch denim, light enough for three seasons. The back of the waistband is elasticated and the front is smooth and conventional, so from the outside they are simply a good pair of jeans.

How it fits

Rise 13 inches, inseam 27 inches, cut wide from the hip down. The elastic covers a 25 to 32 inch waist, which is why they are sold as one size.

Looking after it

Wash it inside out, cold, as rarely as you can stand – denim fades at the fold lines first and a hot wash takes the indigo with it. Hang to dry rather than tumbling, which is what shortens a leg by half an inch.

Among comfy cute clothes they are the pair people buy a second time in another wash, and the korean fashion jeans most likely to be worn on a long flight — the easiest korean clothes pants in the shop.
